My trackpad gestures have not been working correctly ever since I upgraded to Mavericks

Scrolling seems to work fine, until I try to go to the previous webpage. After that, none of the gestures work. Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Well dangit, I spoke too soon. Two weeks ago I posted that UNchecking the "Displays Have Separate Spaces" box in "Mission Control preferences" window fixed the broken multitouch gestures. However, they stopped working again. So just on a whim, I went in and RE-checked the box. Logged out and logged back in and they are now working again. So it appears that there is something about CHANGING THE PREFERENCE, rather than whether it's checked or UNchecked. Confounding.
